Ingredients
Ramen Layer
- 4 packets ramen noodles, discard flavor packet
Sauce and Cheese
- 4 cups tomato sauce
- 2 cups grated parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-x-8 inch casserole dish with baking spray and place the dish onto a baking tray for easy handling.
- Break each square of ramen noodles in half through the middle to fit the casserole dish layers evenly.
- Place one layer of ramen noodles on the bottom of the dish. Spread 2 cups of tomato sauce evenly over the noodles, then sprinkle with 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat the layering by placing the second half of ramen noodles on top of the first cheese layer. Add the remaining tomato sauce, followed by the remaining parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.
- Bake the assembled lasagna in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese has melted thoroughly.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use a good quality tomato sauce for richer flavor.
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese will melt better and add a sharper taste.
- For extra richness, add a layer of ricotta or cream cheese.
- Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before serving to set.
- You can add cooked vegetables or ground meat between layers for added protein and flavor.
